Georgia Bulldogs Kick Returner Mekhi Mews Enters Transfer Portal
Mews put his name on the map in the spring game. He served as a reserve wide receiver but his main role was a returner. Mews was dangerous in the return game. He averaged 10.3 yards per punt return and 25.9 yards per kick return. He had this to say in a statement.
“First I want to thank God for the opportunity he has presented to me at The University of Georgia. I am beyond grateful to be in the position I am today.
Coach Smart and his staff took a chance on me when others wouldn’t. I could never thank the staff enough. I want to thank the fans, my family and my friends for supporting me throughout my time in Athens. Lastly I want to thank the Athens community for pouring in to me. I’ve grown so much as a person over the years and I’m glad I could be molded by such a great community to be the man I am today.
As this has been a very hard decision to make, I have full trust in the plan that the Lord has for me. With that being said, I am entering the transfer portal with 2 years left of eligibility.”
2024 Brings New Challenges
The SEC is expanding with new teams coming into the fold. While the SEC has always had a tough schedule, it is about to get tougher. Georgia especially has a tall task ahead of them. They travel to Alabama and Texas in 2024 which are their toughest games by far. Going on the road in college football is always tough but to have the two toughest games the whole year on the road is a bad draw. Still, the Bulldogs have plenty of talent and are well-coached so they shouldn’t have an issue competing in 2024.
While they have lost a handful of players to the transfer portal, the Georgia Bulldogs shouldn’t be too worried. They have top recruiting classes coming and should have no issue replenishing talent.
